Nanonaitor's Arsenal 0.1.7 — Combat, Enchantments & Compatibility

This update expands Blade Staff reflection, introduces four new weapon-exclusive enchantments, improves dual-Scimitar combat, and adds several compatibility and visual fixes.

Blade Staff Improvements

Blade Staff reflection strength is now determined by its material:

• Wood: always reflects 1 damage.
• Stone: reflects 10% of incoming damage.
• Copper and Bronze: reflect 25%.
• Iron, Gold, Silver, Steel and Umbrium: reflect 50%.
• Diamond and non-elemental Dragonbone: reflect 75%.
• Netherite, elemental Dragonbone, Myrmex, Living and Sentient: reflect 100%.
• Silver: reflects 200% damage against undead enemies.
• Gold: reflects 100% while its matching RLCraft gold armor bonus is active.

Additional changes:

• Successful reflections damage the Blade Staff's durability by the incoming damage, rounded down.
• Unbreaking can reduce this durability loss.
• Material-specific reflection values are now shown in Blade Staff descriptions.
• Blade Staffs rotate faster during the active reflection window.
• Improved the third-person reflection animation.
• Added a louder custom sound for successful reflections.
• Projectile reflections still stun enemies unless Reverso is present.

New Weapon Enchantments

Reverso - Blade Staff Exclusive

Changes the Blade Staff's reflection ability:

• Heals the user instead of reflecting damage into the attacker.
• Healing scales with the Blade Staff's normal reflection percentage.
• Removes the stun normally inflicted by reflected projectiles.
• Repairs the Blade Staff by the resulting healing amount, rounded up.
• Plays its own custom healing sound.

Luna - Morning Star Exclusive

Maximum level: II

Each level:

• Increases the charged attack's area by 25%.
• Reduces the full charge time by 25%.

At Luna II, the Morning Star gains 50% more area and charges 50% faster.

Magic Log — Battering Ram Exclusive

• Reduces hunger consumption from Battering Ram abilities by 50%.
• Converts Battering Ram damage into magic damage.

Endure - Scimitar Exclusive

Maximum level: I per Scimitar

Each enchanted Scimitar provides:

• A 25% chance to resist having the Scimitar guard broken.
• A 25% reduction to the recovery cooldown when the guard is broken.

Enchanting both Scimitars stacks these effects, providing up to a 50% resistance chance and 50% shorter recovery.

Dual-Scimitar Combat Fixes

Automatic dual-wield combat has been substantially reworked:

• Each Scimitar now takes its own alternating attack turn.
• Main-hand and off-hand attacks preserve their appropriate weapon attributes.
• Damage, enchantments and attack-speed calculations are handled separately for each hand.
• Added separate per-hand damage windows.
• A valid attack from one hand no longer incorrectly prevents the other hand from hitting.
• Repeated attacks from the same hand still respect normal immunity rules.
• Fixed paired target selection and off-hand attribute calculations.
• Shield bash now combines the properly calculated damage and enchantment bonuses of both Scimitars.
• Shield-breaking checks now use a shield tier appropriate to the equipped Scimitars.
• Added crossed Scimitar guard visuals in third person.
• Added a custom sound for Scimitar shield bash.
• Reduced the Scimitar inventory sprite by 15% without reducing its held size.

Enchantment Compatibility

• Flails can no longer receive Swifter Slashes from So Many Enchantments.
• Ball & Chains can no longer receive Swifter Slashes.
• Claws and Linked Claws can no longer receive Swifter Slashes.
• Rotation Force's default maximum level has been increased from II to III.
• Arsenal shields can now use Thorns when shield enchantments are enabled.
• Added a master configuration switch for Arsenal enchantments.
• Added configuration switches for each individual Arsenal enchantment.

Materials and Optional Integrations

• Living and Sentient weapon durability can now follow the durability values of the installed parasite weapons.
• Living and Sentient Flails and Ball & Chains now use their red parasite-themed chain artwork.
• Added configurable Arsenal equipment for eligible naturally spawned vanilla humanoids.
• Eligible mobs originally carrying compatible vanilla weapons can receive a corresponding Arsenal weapon while preserving durability and item data.

These material integrations remain optional. Arsenal's standard weapon tiers do not require the associated external mods.

Input, Visual and Stability Fixes

• Improved Blade Staff reflection visuals in first and third person.
• Added custom sounds for:
  • Normal Blade Staff reflection
  • Reverso healing
  • Scimitar shield bash
• Fixed active Flail state potentially remaining stuck after changing players, reconnecting or leaving a world.
• Flails now cooperate with compatible Defenders guard input instead of treating it as an ordinary shield conflict.
• Improved shield priority while using Arsenal weapons.
• Improved cleanup of active weapon states when reconnecting or switching worlds.

Updating

Replace the previous Arsenal JAR with the new version and restart Minecraft.
